Whoops.

This is a clip from Monday’s finale of “Australia’s Next Top Model.” In a beautiful twist of live television, host Sarah Murdoch pulled an epic pump-fake: she mistakenly told the runner-up that she was the winner.

During the live TV finale, Murdoch announced 19-year-old Kelsey Martinovich was the new catwalk queen, defeating runner-up Amanda Ware — and proceeded to let Kelsey celebrate and even give a brief victory speech.

However, moments later, Murdoch became quiet and a shocked look came over her face as she listened to producers in her ear tell her she said the wrong name. [Yahoo]

I have to say, Kelsey handles it well. Murdoch is completely mortified by her mistake, and Kelsey — the girl who just got gut-punched — ends up consoling her. She seems so understanding, non-judgmental, and accepting of disappointment. Coincidentally, that’s everything I look for in a sex partner.

I’m still waiting for the announcement that the Bears actually beat the Colts in the SB.

I think this nation would have been brought together had the Supreme Court given its decision in Bush v. Gore in this manner.

Dude Caveman, can you please reread this post and tell me what the fuck it means? You never even explained that Kelsey wasn’t the real winner, or what mistake the host made. Based on reading your post someone would have no idea what happened.

Why can’t this ever happen on the paternity episodes of Maury? I think it would be hilarious for some whore to start celebrating FINALLY finding the correct guy that she had sex with only to be disappointed again when Maury tells her he fucked up.

Watch 38 seconds to 43 seconds. You can see the host react when she hears thru the earpiece that she fucked up. Glorious.
